No one thinks Wiseman provides anything positive to the team but y’all were just bragging about them going 2-0 without him. The only difference between this game and the 2-0 “streak” is that Steph didnt go into complete human torch mode and carry the team to a win.
- they've been able to run lineups with better spacing
- they've been able to have more continuity with the offense, because they're not abandoning the principles of the system to coddle someone who's incapable of playing in it (who can forget all the times he was on the floor, and they'd run PnR, senselessly, diluting all the ball and player movement).
That has allowed Steph to be more of who he is. He was getting frustrated whenever he was on the floor with Wiseman, which he hasn't since he got DNP'd.
Removing him from the rotation was addition by subtraction.
However, that still doesn't take away from the fact they've still got issues, they're just not as destructive as whenever Wiseman was on the floor. Furthermore, he's still hurting the team by not being able to play, because if he had any value, whatsoever, they could trade him for pieces that actually helped the team.
